Chapter 740: Scheming Cousin and Cold-blooded General 16
*
Hearing this, Yun Wu raised her eyes and looked at him in surprise. Even Prime Minister Ji, who was always calm and composed, looked at Xiao Siyan with some confusion.
Ji Yao was so heartless and stupid that she didn't notice anything. Although she was still a little scared of Ji Siyan, she still asked in confusion:
"Is there something wrong with the Duan family?"
"No, it's just that...marriage is something that should be considered more carefully."
Xiao Siyan said this lightly, and the eldest lady immediately smiled and nodded to indicate that he was right and that they should pay more attention to it.
Perhaps it was because Xiao Siyan had returned to the Ji family as the fourth prince, the atmosphere in the lobby was more solemn than before.
Ji Yao really couldn't stand such a formal occasion and found an excuse to slip away. Yun Wu, a distant cousin, also felt it was inappropriate for her to stay there, so she also politely left.
However, before he had walked far out of the lobby, he heard a low and slightly resentful voice behind him.
"Why...are you distancing yourself from me?"
Yun Wu paused and turned around in a daze. The former eldest son of Ji, now the newly-crowned Fourth Prince, had followed her out at some point.
The inky robe on his body made his expression even more stern, but his dark eyes revealed a complex expression.
Although Yun Wu was a little confused, she still twirled her handkerchief and said softly:
"You are now the Fourth Prince, your status is not the same as before, so you naturally cannot act rashly..."
Not to mention the matter of the jade token, just considering Xiao Siyan's current status as a prince, if she rushed over and accidentally angered him, it would be a matter of life and death.
"You still treat me the same as before..."
Xiao Siyan's voice was deep. Seeing the girl's inquiring gaze, his ears turned red. He added nonchalantly:
"And Ayao and Achi too."
"So...cousin?"
Yun Wu called out weakly, and Xiao Siyan gritted his teeth secretly, not really liking such a title.
Is it possible that in her heart, there is no difference between him and Ji Chi?
Yun Wu felt that Xiao Siyan had become strange after not seeing him for many days. She had clearly said that she wanted things to be the same as before, but he seemed unhappy instead.
.
Two days later, it was the capital's annual horse riding and archery competition, and the families of officials and aristocratic families would all participate, at the largest horse riding and archery farm outside the city.
Some families also take advantage of this time to secretly look for in-laws. If both parties like each other, the marriage will naturally be arranged.
The elders who followed them sat high on the pavilion and watched the horse racing, archery competitions and Cuju competitions on the racecourse below, and occasionally praised which young man was good at horse riding, or which young lady was good at Cuju.
As soon as Yun Wu changed into riding clothes, she was surrounded by Ji Yao and several young ladies from aristocratic families.
She was pretty, and the apricot-colored narrow-sleeved riding suit made her look delicate and lively. Her eyes were very beautiful when she smiled shyly.
Yun Wu had never learned to ride a horse before, so Ji Yao asked someone to pick out a very docile pony for her to ride.
"Just hold on to the reins tightly and walk slowly over here. You'll be fine."
Ji Yao said, looking at Yun Wu riding steadily on the pony, she nodded with satisfaction, and then she felt at ease to go play Cuju with her sisters.
Yun Wu was just planning to walk around for a while and then go to the pavilion to rest. After all, she came here today because the wife of the Dali Temple Minister was also here, and she had to chat with her so that she could know what kind of person her youngest son wanted to marry.
Unexpectedly, just as Ji Yao and the others left, Fang Xinyue came over from behind, leading her horse, and her little follower was still following her.
"If you can't ride a horse, don't come out and embarrass yourself. It's really funny to ride with your horse tilted up."
Fang Xinyue's voice was coquettish, and the two or three little followers around her also laughed secretly, and from time to time they glanced at Yun Wu who was riding the pony over there.
"Sister Fang is right. You want to join in all the fun. I would have thought you were here to pick up someone..."
Fang Xinyue smiled happily. Now that no one from the Ji family was around, she was still resentful of the last time Xiao Siyan protected Yun Wu.
Now that Xiao Siyan is the fourth prince and no longer a member of the Ji family, Fang Xinyue believes that he will no longer care about the affairs of a distant cousin of the Ji family.
Unexpectedly, Yun Wu seemed not to have heard anything. She didn't even look over at him. She was just concentrating on riding her short pony around the wall.
Yun Wu was too lazy to pay attention to them. Now they were in public and could only talk, hoping that she would get angry and start a fight with them. There were so many people on the pavilion and she would not do anything meaningless.
Just at this moment, there was some noise coming from not far away. It turned out that Xiao Siyan had arrived.
Yun Wu then showed some reaction. She raised her head and glanced over there from a distance, but couldn't see clearly.
But she couldn't understand why Xiao Siyan suddenly came to the horse riding and archery competition...
Suddenly, Yun Wu vaguely heard Fang Xinyue and her followers say proudly in the back:
"My father said that the position of the Fourth Prince's wife can only be mine, and the Queen also has her eyes on me."
Although Fang Xinyue deliberately lowered her voice so that it could not be heard clearly, one could still hear the joy that she could not help but show when she spoke.
"Anyway...just wait for the imperial decree granting marriage, hum..."
Yun Wu listened silently at the side, feeling an uneasy feeling in her heart.
Madam Duan, who was observing Yun Wu's every move on the pavilion, nodded slightly with a solemn expression, and then said to Duan Qi beside her:
"She's quite decent, but her background is a bit poor... Qi'er, go and ask Miss Yun to come up and sit for a while."
Duan Qi thought that Mrs. Duan agreed to let him marry Yun Wu, so he left happily.
A lady from another family beside her curiously asked Mrs. Duan if she really wanted to facilitate this marriage. Mrs. Duan's eyes flashed with shrewdness and she said lightly:
"It's impossible to be the principal wife, but if the Xiangfu is willing to marry the eldest daughter as the principal wife, then Miss Yun can naturally be taken in as a concubine."
The Duan family sent someone to say that Madam Duan wanted to meet Yun Wu. Yun Wu had guessed this and naturally did not refuse, but she had to go to the other courtyard to change out of her riding clothes first.
Just as she pushed open the door of her guest room, her wrist was suddenly grabbed by a strong force and she was pulled inside.
"Who?!"
Yun Wu was startled and almost thought that a thief had broken in. She stood firm and looked up, and saw Xiao Siyan's familiar face.
The handsome face was close at hand. The corners of his eyes were slightly red, his pupils seemed a little blurry, and his cheeks were flushed in an unnatural way.
"Xiao, Xiao Siyan?"
Yun Wu looked surprised, her rosy pink lips slightly open.
But before she could utter the second sentence, the man in front of her suddenly sealed her lips.
